    Would you still worship a God and your religion if there was nothing to gain out of it for example there was a God but he, she or it didn't offer any personal loss or gain if you did/didn't worship him, her or it?

    It seems like our friends on the other side of the aisle have not considered this question...

    Why do you think he has to offer you something, think your special or something? That's also like saying it's his right to offer me something and if he dosn't then I don't wanna know him.

    Doing and offering you something are two totally different things. Just because he dosn't care about you dosn't mean he's powerless, he just dosn't think that humans are anything special and are pretty stupid for thinking they are.

    Exactily so if you just proved that if there was no gain or loss you would not believe in your religion.

    What's the point in wasting your time, do you enjoy wasting time?

    There is no worshiping to reach the Outerworld, abandoning ones self for their spirit requires no God only the principles that the Supreme God requires in seeking the everlasting. If you do not like the principles try and change them as Satin who is dead, just give it a go.

    Religion is all about living your life. No matter what religion you believe.

    That's actually the opposite of what most religions believe. Most religions teach that this life is meaningless and worthless and only the promised next life is important.

    Waleed Al-Shehri, one of the 9/11 hijackers, explained it like this: "As for our own fortune, it is not in this world," he said. "And we are not competing with you for this world, because it does not equal in Allah's eyes the wing of a mosquito."

    If we knew for certain that there was a god, I still wouldn't worship him, because he would happen to be the biggest failure of a deity conceivable - allowing birth defects, disasters and the rest. I'd ask for a new one ;)
